Well, this site won't replace your library, but it hopefully will provide you with enough tools to enable you to make the right buying or bidding decision on the fly.

their sites.

for selling and buying their antiques and collectibles.

And much, much more.

antique dealers and collectors time by giving them access to a wide
variety of reference materials and sites, such as:

Prices realized sites, both reference sites and

expert contributing specialists can answer your questions. (If
you are confident that you have expert knowledge in a given
specialty, drop me a note with specifics. If we sign you up, we
will also be pleased to promote your business at no charge.)

As we expand, we will
add more features that offer real value to those selling and collecting antiques, art or collectibles. Our goal is to provide a real service that helps you

When Buying and Collecting Antiques, You want facts, not “pie in the sky,” promises or technobabble.

When buying and collecting antiques, it also pays to have patience and a willingness to learn. Understand that true small business marketing success comes
only after a reasonable investment of time and treasure and a
clearly thought out 2 year and 5 year projection. Even though those projections are subject to change, you must have a direction in which to head in.

You also want to see pages written in clear, grammatical English.

Our website is a growing project and will expand with more and more free information of use to both collectors and dealers. Join us on Facebook or LinkedIn to keep current with our expansion, and offer your suggestions for other resources of value to you.
